Play timeThibodaux Playhouse’s next production in the 2012-13 season, Neil Simon’s “Barefoot in the Park,” tells the story of Paul and Corie Bratter, newlyweds in every sense of the word. He’s a straight-as-an-arrow lawyer and she’s a free spirit always looking for the latest kick. Their new apartment is her most recent find — too expensive with bad plumbing and in need of a paint job. After a six-day honeymoon, they get a surprise visit from Corie’s loopy mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with their neighbor-in-the-attic Velasco, where everything that can go wrong, does. Paul just doesn’t understand Corie, as she sees it. He’s too staid, too boring and she just wants him to be a little more spontaneous.Admission: $15 for adults and $10 for childrenWhen: 7:30 p.m. Jan. 25-26, and 2 p.m. Jan. 27Where: Thibodaux Playhouse inside the Jean Lafitte National Park Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center, 314 St. Mary St.Information: 446-1896 or visit www.thibodauxplayhouse.com
